Even though I've no complaints against Dr. PJ, I am writing this unsatisfactory review for the…read morepractice due to office managers and staff. After being with the practice for almost 12 years and referring so many new patients to this practice the office staff and management has always treated with lots of racial discrimination, unfairly, and with un-acceptable disrespect. They have always been putting their undocumented rules and policies before a patients health. Today I went in for my daughter's annual checkup in my unstable health conditions. Instead of expressing sympathy and consideration they backlashed me with their policy. They talked to me so rudely in front of my 9 year old. Office manager took employee's side and didn't believe a single word I said. I even told her to talk to my daughter who was my only eyewitness of the incident. This situation could have been avoided if they would have just shown some sympathy towards my health and circumstances. But instead they decided to show misuse and misconduct of their authority and power. I don't recommend this practice now or in future.

If you are getting a crown, go elsewhere! Although it may seem nice that this practice makes crowns…read moreinhouse instead of sending out to a lab, making the crown also depends on the skill of the dentist. I've never had issues in the past with lab made crowns. This is the first time I've ever had a Cerec crown, and I have had pain for over two months. Also, I can FEEL this Cerec crown in my mouth constantly - it is as if there is something stuck against my cheek or on the tooth. It is causing me to bite the inside of my check. Plus, it is painful to try to chew even soft foods on it, the tooth/root hurts if I touch it with anything (tongue, finger, etc). Going through this pain, I did some online research on Cerec crowns, and there are a lot of issues with these type of crowns (most of which has to do with the skills of the dentist). The Cerec crown being too "bulky" so that feels like something stuck to your tooth or cheek is a complaint that people have had, which has to do with dentist not being skilled enough to fit it correctly. If you research Cerec crowns, you have to also be careful not to just read "advertisements" disguised as articles written by dental practices that purchased an expensive Cerec machine and want to recoup their investment! Since getting the new crown, I went back to Dr. Anolik's office three times because of the pain. The third time, Dr. Steven Anolik referred me to an endodontist, Dr. Jason Fields - who apparently is Anolik's go-to endodontist for referrals. He said the whole reason for the pain is that I am grinding my teeth. This didn't make sense to me - I might grind a little or clench a little, but I had gotten another crown on the same side years ago and never had this kind of pain. So, I switched to a different dental practice. My new dentist said that don't have a Cerec machine because of the problems with Cerec crowns. She tried doing a bite adjustment (grinding the crown down a little because it was hitting the top teeth to hard). She also referred me to an endodontist, and said to go if I am still having pain in a couple of weeks. The pain continued, so I saw the new endodontist, who recommended a root canal. He did the root canal, and when he got in there, he said the nerves were very inflammed (from all trauma of the crown) and some of the nerve was dead, and it was infected. That was the reason I was having this pain. Now the infection is getting treated, then he will finish the root canal. Then I'll go back to the new dentist and see about replacing or fixing the ill-fitting crown. I am writing this long review because I totally regret having walked into this dental practice in the first place. If Dr. Steven Anolik had told me BEFORE recommending the crown that they are using an inhouse Cerec machine to make it, instead of sending it out to a lab, I would have had a chance to research it before the appointment. But I did not know until I was in the chair for the appointment to get the crown. Would I have researched it and decided against it? I don't know for certain. But I believe patients should have the choice and have all the facts. Thus, I am writing this review for anyone who happens to see it, who happens to go to this practice and they tell you that you need a crown. At least you would have the choice to do some research on your own and decide if you want to risk having the dentist make it inhouse. Another thing I learned through this experience. The endodontist looked at all the x-rays and intraoral photos of that one tooth. It had a crack on both sides, which is why a crown was necessary. But he said that he would have done the root canal first, and then do the crown. There was a big risk of the trauma to the nerves, the inflammation, and a deeper crack that could not be detected. So doing the root canal first would have saved me all of this pain and multiple appointments and multiple painful shots in the mouth.

I've been going to TLC Modern Dentistry for 10 years, and I have to say there are some positives…read moreand some negatives. Dr. Tran is a nice guy, and he definitely doesn't want to cause you any pain. But I'm not sure that all the work he does is necessary. Every time I see him it seems like I need a root canal and a crown. However, I did get a second opinion at one point and the other dentist confirmed what TLC had told me. The staff is also great, and they really commit to their jobs. Unfortunately, it's not all good. One of my biggest complaints is that they never have appointments available. Sometimes I have to wait over a month for an appointment. And when I do go in, there's a lot of waiting involved. I am pretty sure they double book their appointments because after they take me back, I always wait around 20-30 minutes. Another complaint is that they do not tell you what's going on while they're doing it, what you may need to do, what your options are, or what you should do in the future. The only time you know what they're going to do is when they give you the bill. Still, Dr. Tran is a good dentist and the staff is very nice. 6/10

During the exam, the dentist quickly recommended several expensive procedures without really explaining what the issues were, why the treatments were needed, or what the process would look like. After that, I was sent to another staff member who kept pushing me to sign a financial agreement, but they couldn't clearly explain the pricing or give me a clear estimate of the total cost. I also asked for copies of my dental X-rays, but the office sent low-resolution images that weren't usable for follow-up care. Because of that, I had to pay to get new X-rays taken at another dental office. Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend this practice.

When my husband and I began seeing their dentists more than two years ago, the practice seemed to…read moretake care of their patients and look out for the patients' financial as well as their dental needs. However, a recent incident showed us that when they make a mistake, they are happy to make us pay for it. We purchased a dental insurance policy for 2024 to cover anticipated costs. My husband's care was in three phases, and first two went smoothly earlier in 2024. On October 31, 2024, he had an impression taken for an occlusal guard. However, the dentist didn't send the impression to the manufacturer or file the claim in November or December while we still had dental coverage. Nor did they communicate with us about any of this until my husband finally called them. The delay led to a second impression being required in January, 2025, and my husband coming out with a bill for $1130.70 instead of the $195.30 that should have been the total charge if the claim had been filed while we had insurance in 2024. Their lack of communication was disappointing. My husband and I have spoken to three persons of authority there, including the billing and office managers, and their unwillingness to take responsibility for their negligence is unacceptable.
